Li Shimin said, "Erlang, you don't have to worry about me. You can do whatever you want to do to He Mengyao. You can even plot against me to death. She has received benefits from me. If she had left nicely, that would have been fine. But to betray me like this, He Mengyao deserves to die. "
Du Qi said, "With Your Highness's words, I am relieved. Your Highness, please rest assured that I will not disappoint you. In short, I will make He Mengyao pay the price this time. I have never shown mercy to those who want to scheme against me. "
He said it very casually.
But Zhangsun Wuji, who was at the side, felt a chill in his heart. One must know that Zhangsun Wuji did not have a good impression of Du Qi. So when he heard Du Qi's words, he felt that Du Qi was targeting him.
Especially those who were enemies of Du Qi, none of them had a good ending.
Just Xie Zhizhou, who had just lost his life, was also very tragic. As for the Yin Family's father and son, they were both living a miserable life now. And the Crown Prince of the East Palace, Li Jiancheng, who was enemies with Du Qi, was not as good as before.
Li Shimin chuckled.
This talented person had pride and arrogance.
Especially Du Qi, who had become famous at a young age, he would have some temper. So Li Shimin did not take Du Qi's harsh words to heart.
"Knock! Knock! "
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort heard that Young Master Du had come to the residence. She said that after Your Highness and Young Master Du finished discussing things, she would like to invite Young Master Du to the backyard."
It was a servant of the residence who spoke.
Li Shimin said, "Got it!"
After Li Shimin agreed, he looked at Du Qi and said, "Erlang, you are really a busy person! Now that you have come to the residence, the Princess Consort wants to invite you over. "
Du Qi said, "Your Highness is praising me. I think the matter the Princess Consort is asking about is related to Your Highness. Maybe it is related to the food, so she wants me to go. "
Li Shimin smiled faintly. During this period, Zhangsun Wugou had been studying the dishes of the restaurant.
Although the chefs of the Prince Yu's Mansion learned from the restaurants and updated the dishes in the Prince Yu's Mansion. However, there were many times when Zhangsun Wugou had to personally cook. Especially when it came to Li Shimin's food, Zhangsun Wugou would personally cook many dishes.
Li Shimin said no more and asked, "Erlang, is there anything else?"
"It's gone!"
Du Qi shook his head and replied.
Li Shimin said, "Just go."
"Yes!"
Du Qi agreed with a smile.
After he bowed towards Li Shimin, he bowed and left the study, heading to the rear courtyard to meet Zhangsun Wugou. Du Qi knew where Zhangsun Wugou's courtyard was, so he quickly arrived at the courtyard.
Du Qi entered the room and saw Zhangsun Wugou who was dressed simply. He said, "Greetings to Princess Consort."
"Sit!"
Zhangsun Wugou waved his hand and instructed.
Du Qi thanked him and sat down. Then, he asked, "May I know why Princess Consort has summoned me?"
Zhangsun Wugou said, "I called you here today because it's related to your marriage."
"Ah!"
Du Qi exclaimed when he heard that.
Even though Du Qi's expression would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he was also shocked when he heard Zhangsun Wugou's words. This was because he was caught off guard.
Du Qi was only thirteen years old now. In the future, he would still be studying at this age. Yet, they were talking about marriage now. It was especially hard to reject the marriage that Zhangsun Wugou mentioned.
Zhangsun Wugou smiled and said, "Erlang, you are Du Ruhui's son and also the King of Qin's junior. I also treat you as a junior. Therefore, I will choose your marriage carefully and will not casually pull strings. You don't have to worry that I will randomly matchmake you two. I only mentioned it to you after careful selection. "
Du Qi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.
After all, it was not a casual matchmaking.
Zhangsun Wugou saw Du Qi's relieved expression and continued, "During this period, many people have come to me to matchmake. Especially many ladies from the imperial clan, they have been asking me about it. However, I did not pay much attention to them. After all, they are not particularly outstanding and are not worthy of you. "
Du Qi said, "Thank you for your hard work, Princess."
Zhangsun Wugou continued, "However, you have made great contributions after returning from the Turks. This is even more different. You have become a Rank-5 county man at such a young age. Moreover, you are a county man from Lantian County. Many people have taken a fancy to you. "
Du Qi said, "Princess, just tell me directly. Which family is she from?"
Zhangsun Wugou said, "She is the daughter of Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhao."
Du Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard that.
Li Xiaogong was a relative of the Tang dynasty. In history, he was a very famous lord. Although Li Xiaogong's prestige among the relatives was not as high as that of Li Shentong, Prince of Huai 'an.
However, Li Xiaogong's contributions far exceeded Li Shentong's.
Especially when it came to supporting Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong also took great credit. Therefore, Li Xiaogong could be ranked second in the Lingyan Pavilion ranking in the future, second only to Zhangsun Wuji.
The current Li Xiaogong was in his early thirties and was Li Shimin's cousin.
The two of them were very close.
It was precisely because of this that Zhangsun Wugou mentioned Li Xiaogong.
Du Qi thought.
In this era, it was impossible to pursue love. What was important in this era was parents' orders and matchmakers' words. Especially with Du Qi's background, as a member of an official family, his wife must be from a big family.
There was no doubt about this.
Of course, Du Qi would not completely submit. The person he wanted to marry must at least be pleasing to the eye. Both parties must also get along well and be able to enter his eyes. If even this could not be achieved, it would be impossible even if she was from a big family.
These two conditions must be met at the same time.
Du Qi thought for a while and said, "Princess, regarding the specific situation of the marriage, only my parents can make the decision. However, regarding my marriage, I have some requirements. At least the two of them have to meet. Otherwise, how can I get married if I don't even know what she looks like? "
Zhangsun Wugou said, "You are really tricky! However, you have the right to be arrogant. In Chang 'an City, there are countless young ladies from noble families who are looking at you eagerly. Moreover, you are now the best son-in-law in the eyes of all the nobles. If you want to meet the daughter of County King Zhao, no problem. You can meet her now. "
"Even now?"
Du Qi was a little surprised when he heard this.
Zhangsun Wugou said, "Today, the Princess of County King Zhao is here as a guest. Coincidentally, she brought her daughter, Li Yanyun. Of course, she is here as a guest to talk about the marriage. Coincidentally, you are here again, so you can meet her. "
At this point, Zhangsun Wugou paused and instructed, "Erlang, don't you think this is fate? It is because of fate that both of you can come to the prince's mansion at the same time. "
Du Qi said, "In that case, let's meet."
Zhangsun Wugou immediately made the arrangements. Not long after, two figures entered. The person walking in front was only eleven or twelve years old. She had bright eyes and white teeth. Her big black eyes were very bright.
She was Li Yanyun.
She was Li Xiaogong's daughter.
In this era, the engagement was very early. After the marriage was decided, it could wait until the person came of age to hold the wedding.
